Experience not used is punishment – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 10 PM on day 418 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself an egg sandwich for breakfast, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature,  tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – feed myself chicken biryani for lunch, work on this blog – as you can see I’ve moved from http://nisha360.wordpress.com/  to http://nishav360.com/ hopefully this is the start of bigger and better things (a special thanks to Ramon Thomas for helping me move–  and brush my teeth once more.

Yesterday evening I was doing something and my mom asked do you want to go to the bathroom to which I said no but she took me anyway because she wanted to get that chore over with (I absolutely understand that it was a long day and she was tired) while in the bathroom I felt so powerless which was the ‘Sit for Water’ – a fundraising event in which those participating will be required to donate $25 and sit in a particular spot for as much time as they pledged to – if you pledged to sit for an hour you should not get up for an hour for any other reason than to go to the bathroom (if you need something ask someone to get it for you or get it when your hour is up) – idea came to me (Note: The event will take place on 12 November 2011 and I will create a Facebook event page of the same name on which I would love for all those participating to upload pictures/videos of themselves participating). Are you punishing yourself every day?

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
